Description

In an emotionally charged conversation with Eric Jorgensen of True North Disability Planning, we venture deep into the heart of community and its indispensable role in special needs parenting. Through recounting her own journey with her daughter Elizabeth, born with a mitochondrial defect, Host Annette Hines unveils how community acted as their family lifeline, providing a shared belief system and collective elasticity to push forward. Eric, embodying his Navy ethos, emphasizes the value of a supportive community, a nurturing fixture that provides control and personalization, strikingly different from social media's impersonal landscape. Listen to a previous episode with Eric Jorgensen to learn about his own special needs parenting journey.Driven by our shared experiences, we're excited to introduce our latest venture - a membership-based community platform. This is more than just a gathering spot; it's a space designed to bring resources together, fostering inclusivity and support. In our discussion, we dissect the potential of a community-based platform and how it allows users to personalize their experience, connect on a more profound level, and access vital resources. We invite service representatives to engage in sincere Q&As, moving beyond sales pitches to provide meaningful insights to the community.To conclude, we extend an invitation to continue this enlightening conversation on Mighty Networks, our newly launched platform. It's a safe space to learn, share, and express ourselves as we navigate the challenging journey of special needs parenting together. As we embark on this transformative journey, we ask, "What does community mean to you?" We're eager to hear your thoughts, experiences, and insights as we work together to build a community that serves us all.

Parenting: Impossible – The Special Needs Survival Podcast is a podcast dedicated to giving compassionate advice for all stages of life. Our conversations revolve around the entire special needs community including those with autism, intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, mental health issues and more. Parents and experts (and sometimes parents who are experts!) discuss a whole host of issues facing the special needs community including raising children with different abilities, transitioning into adulthood, sibling challenges and how to effectively navigate the complex systems in our world. We offer inspiration, support, expertise and a wide range of discussions that will help you survive and thrive as you support your loved one with special needs. Imagine yourself having coffee with a friend and discussing all the important challenges in your life – but your best friend is an expert! Hosted by Attorney Annette Hines, special needs mom, author of the best-selling book Butterflies and Second Chances, national expert speaker, writer and contributor to publications, and founder of the Special Needs Law Group based In Massachusetts, Annette has regular guests that include experts in the field of special needs, siblings that offer stories and survival tips with a positive message.
